Version 0.6 (22.05.2012) *Fixed white space issues in white list entries *Fixed errors from stat_* functions when not running on ArchLinux *Configuration file moved to /etc/hostsblock directory as rc.conf *New configuration files hosts.head, black.list, and white.list *hosts.head: contains user-defined entries that go to the top of resultant output file *removed original file recycling. If you want to carry over entries from previous output file, include in hosts.head TODO *add command-line tool to interactively examine a given site, provide a list of domains involved in that site (and whether they are blocked or not), and add entries to the blacklist and whitelist accordingly. *revamp unzip command to function under other *nix implementations

Revised TODO: *preserve entries from previous or given master file *split off whitelist and blacklist arrays into separate config files. (will resolve spaces in sed issue) *fix errors from stat_* functions when not running on ArchLinux *revamp unzip command to function under other *nix implementations *add command-line tool to interactively examine a given site, provide a list of domains involved in that site (and whether they are blocked or not), and add entries to the blacklist and whitelist accordingly.
